Open Roads to a Destination

[Demetri Malius]

It wasn't long before the thief was back in the Nexus, hands in his pockets as he strolled at a fine speed, where no regular human would even hope to catch up, even by running. He spoke to his programmed companion.

"I'd appreciate if my disguises were no longer at humorous expense, IRIS."

A mechanized giggle was halted as she gave a whirring sigh. "I know..." she started. "I just couldn't gelp myself, plus i knew you were gonna make it out perfectly fine. Even better, the guy doesnt even know who you are!"

"That is true, but still. I feel mocked..."

"Aww, I am sorry Creator. If it helps, ill be helping you when you create the base for the guild! By the way, why Camelot? Its pretty busy over there, so it's a higher chance of getting caught."

"Exactly, but there are also more opportunities to practice our art, and for our future members to refine their skills. If the law ever comes down on us, I gaurantee that I will be on the front lines."

"A noble statement for someone that lives off of others." The machine giggled jokingly.

"Ahah. Yes, it is. But there is at least aome honor among thieves, some things that we simply abide by, as respect to others and ourselves. Without it we are just a bunch of rampant fools under the same name."

"You have given a lot of thought to this haven't you?"

"Lass, it has been on my mind for at least the past week. It is time that we pool our resources and begin to widen our reach and influence. Camelot will be the first to fall under our eyes."

"I like it when you plot, Creator. You sound so confident!"

The thief gave a nervous laugh, realizing that he was being a bit too prideful. "I suppose." He then stopped for a moment and looked towards the fountain. "IRIS what information is there about that gathering of primes over there?" 

"Hmm... it looks like someone really wants to gang up on Sasuke, isn't that the guy you fought in Nippur? He had that really cool sword!"

"Indeed he did. Is there a count for who is present?"

"Hmm... a bit, though not all are registered on a dataverse device."

"I see. We should not interfere. Though an artefact like that would no doubt be useful, trying to take it within the crowd would no doubt bring eyes towards us. I have had enough war for the time being. However, perhaps we shall see if any new primes have arrived. I find it useful to introduce ourselves to them, it may prove beneficial later on..."

"Sounds good to me, Creator!"
